Our Latest Project
Palolo Elementary School Cleanup
We had our first project of the new Rotary year last month. With the Palolo Elementary School keiki coming back to campus this month, we worked hard to beautify their playground and basketball area. We spent the day weed whacking, weed pulling, tree cutting, sweeping and more, so now they have much more room to play and run around!
